I have one invite left for purchasing Google Glass for the first person that wants it.  Remember the requirements are:

- be a US resident

- be 18 years or older

- purchase Glass

- provide a U.S. based shipping address OR pick up the device in New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles

Wow, lots of questions! We'd rather "show" than "tell" so here you go: the mono earbud, and the Glass that Explorers will be getting when they swap later this year.

Edit: More questions! The earbud plugs into Glass, so you can choose whether to use it.

Earlier this week, the number of +1s on my G+ page suddenly and inexplicably dropped from around 5,000 to approx. 800. I complained to Google 2 days ago but so far those haven't been reinstated, and it seems Google doesn't know where they went.

Did the NSA steal those, too?

Anyone else have this issue with Google+ badges? It cut off the last letter in my name! When I look at the source, I can see that the 'g' has been converted to some random unicode character. What's even more annoying is that when I go into my dashboard in tumblr to try to change this, it shows up correctly. The only place it seems not to work is when viewing the page. =/

Bring on the  from Information Society No autotune modified organisms here.  I've been having a great time exploring the back catalog on Google Play including a superb live album that recently came out [1].

Then again I think I'm required to enjoy any group that puts out tracks like an actual data transmission in 300bps N, 8, I (Terminal Mode or ASCII Download) and the ode to TLAs in Where Would I be Without IBM [2]

We really need to get your playlists supported as proper embeds.  We're already working on this for Youtube....

It's new Tunesday! This week features no marquee hip-hop releases but has more indie-folk than you can shake a banjo at:

- Avett Bros, Head and the Heart,  and Cass McCombs all twang it out a bit

- Solid week for metal: New Red Fang, Pelican and Trivium

- We also have some new jams from established players: Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam and Dismemberment Plan (which on first listen is pretty blah)

Enjoy!
